Our HSSE Commitment

Vivo Energy’s vision is to become Africa’s most respected business. Our commitment to achieving and maintaining the highest international Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE) standards is at the heart of our business and is a key differentiator for Vivo Energy Botswana. Being the best in HSSE is not an objective that sits apart from our overall ambitions. It is an integral and essential part of our business plan.

Our focus is on five critical areas:

Goal Zero – no harm to people or the environment is our number one priority.

Transport safety – we invest significantly in training, technology and the adoption of best practice to continually improve in this area.

Contractor safe management – we require contractors and partners to manage their HSSE policies and practices in line with ours.

Environmental impact – we actively monitor our environmental impact, act decisively to minimise the impact of any incidents and are transparent in our public reporting.

Our recent HSSE performance has been exemplary, and we are proud to have maintained Goal Zero since 2011.

Nevertheless, challenges persist in areas such as security at service stations. In this regard, Vivo Energy Botswana has played a major role in the establishment of the industry’s first Security Forum, partnering with the Botswana Police Service, with the aim to combat robberies at service stations. Other oil companies have since joined the forum.
